Yes, I am thinking that you can get away with just the one 18AWG twisted pair for mid/tweeter. If you want to be sure then you can double them up since reinstallation into the wall is a PITA so if you were off in too little metal then you would have to do it over.
I do suggest that a 12 gauge equivalent for the bass section wire is the minimal thickness. In my own setup where I am driving Tympani bass panels to below 20hz and play loud I increased the thickness till I got no improvement in performance when going from 8 gauge to 6 gauge. My runs are only less than half as long as yours.
I recently learned that the Cardas Golden Reference is 3.5 gauge so this is not outlandish.
I suspect it has to do with damping (factor) as the difference between 10 gauge to 8 gauge while passive biamping was minimal if not indistinguishable while it was rather obvious with the active crossover particularly when I took out the infrasonic filter.
